Benefits of technology

The present invention is a condiment mill with two compartments that can hold different condiments and grind them by rotating the other compartment. The mill can be easily transformed between the two conditions for grinding by inverting it. The selection of condiment being ground is simple and easy, and realized by turning over the condiment mill. The first and second hub members may be positioned in a way that allows either the at least one first protrusion or the at least one second protrusion to engage with the respective recess, and the other protrusion to disengage from the recess.

Problems solved by technology

This kind of condiment mills have the drawback that the gear mechanism needs to be rotated in different directions for different condiments.
This operation mode requires the user to remember to rotate the gear mechanism in the correct direction in order to obtain the needed condiment, which increases the chances of misoperation.

Embodiment Construction

[0041]While this invention is illustrated and described in preferred embodiments, the condiment mill of the present invention may be produced in many different configurations, sizes, forms and materials.

[0042]Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates in a perspective view a condiment mill constructed according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The condiment mill 1 comprises a first compartment 2 having a proximal end 3 and a distal end 4, and a second compartment 5 having a proximal end 6 and a distal end 7. In this embodiment, both the first compartment 2 and the second compartment 5 are of a generally cylindrical shape. The proximal end 3 of the first compartment 2 is terminated by a proximal end plate 41 and the proximal end 6 of the second compartment 5 is terminated by a proximal end plate 42. The proximal end plate 41 of the first compartment 2 is stacked directly on the proximal end plate 42 of the second compartment 5, in such a manner that the firs...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a condiment mill capable of separately accommodating and grinding two condiments depending on the orientation of the condiment mill. The condiment mill comprises two superimposed compartments which may be inverted for grinding two condiments separately and allowing to release the condiment out of the mill by rotating one of the two compartments relative to the other.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates generally to a condiment mill, and particularly, to a condiment mill that has two superimposed compartments for accommodating and grinding two condiments separately by rotating one of the two compartments relative to the other.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Condiment mills that can separately accommodate and grind two different condiments, for example, salt and pepper, are currently available. These condiment mills typically comprise two parallel containers separated from each other. At the bottom of each of the containers, a grinding mechanism is provided for grinding the respective condiment. Each of the grinding mechanisms is driven by a respective shaft extending upwardly through the respective container. Both shafts are drivingly connected to a gear mechanism provided on top of the containers. The gear mechanism is configured in such a manner that when the gear mechanism is rotated in one direction, one of the shaft...
